Keeping your laundry room safe and efficient starts with one simple check: making sure your dryer vent duct isn’t crushed or kinked. This small issue is one of the most common causes of poor dryer performance—and even house fires.
When the dryer duct is bent, crushed, or pushed too close to the wall, airflow becomes restricted. That leads to:
🔥 Fire Hazard: Lint builds up quickly inside a blocked duct. Lint is extremely flammable, and restricted airflow causes dangerous overheating.
⏳ Long Drying Times: Your dryer struggles to push out humid air, requiring multiple cycles.
💸 Higher Energy Bills: More cycles = more electricity or gas wasted.
⚠️ Premature Wear: Poor airflow puts stress on internal dryer components.
For maximum safety and performance, always use rigid or semi-rigid dryer ducts—never flimsy plastic or foil hoses. These safer options maintain their shape, resist crushing, and allow proper venting.
